[1k+ words] Guide to heightmaxxing: [become the tallest in your friend group] Welcome to the world's best guide to growing taller created by Ionut. In this guide I'm going to show you the best diet to grow tall asf because let's be honest, everybody wants that. This guide is preety long so reading this will also improve your shit attention span. Let's get started! 1. NUTRITION Nutrition is the foundation for growing taller. Bone elongation and strengthening occurs through endochondral ossification (where cartilage is replaced with bone tissue). This process relies on proteins, collagen, minerals for density, and vitamins for regulation. An optimized diet provides these components while supporting overall health and hormonal balance. ----------- THE FRAMEWORK: protein and collagen Collagen is a structural protein crucial for bone growth, as it forms the framework upon which minerals like calcium and phosphate are deposited. Collagen is made from amino acids such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline but you don't really care about that. Collagen ensures bones are flexible and strong. It's also vital for the health of cartilage, ligaments, and tendons, all of which play a role in height development. Ensuring adequate collagen intake and synthesis supports the growth plates in bones and improves overall skeletal health. Foods rich in collagen: -bone broth (probably the BEST one on the list) -meat with skin (chicken thighs, pork ribs) -organ meats (liver, heart) -eggs (including the membrane) Collagen is preety useless if your body can't synthesise it so incorporate foods that include vitamin C, zinc, and copper to process amino acids into collagen. (Or take supplements) Vitamin C: -oranges -grapefruits -bell peppers (red and yellow varieties) -tomatoes Zinc: -oysters -beef -chicken thighs Copper: -liver -shellfish -dark chocolate ---------------- THE BUILDING BRICKS: Calcium, Phosphate, and Bone Mineralization After the collagen framework is established, minerals like calcium and phosphate harden bones. These minerals form hydroxyapatite, the crystalline structure responsible for bone density and strength.
